摘要

Lice levels are reported to be at a 20-year high in Australian sheep flocks with producers struggling to manage the pest and keep their pending clip intact. With predictions the lice problem will persist for some time yet, the Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia's parasitology group provides some timely tips on lice management. It is likely that high sheep lice infestation levels will continue for some time, because the factors that have contributed to the current situation are complex and often interact with other sheep management decisions.
